Chapter 251: The Fall of the Anglo-Mediterranean Fleet (Part II)

Cunningham hurriedly ordered his carrier-based aircraft to take off, and there were still two squadrons of Sea Spitfire left on the two British aircraft carriers.

The two squadrons of the Sea Spitfire had only twenty-four aircraft, and the German aircraft he had to face were two BF109 fighter regiments, and the difference in strength between the two sides was fifteen times.

Even if the British planes were supported by anti-aircraft artillery, the gap in strength was too great, and the Germans would casually dispatch dozens of planes to engage with the British carrier-based planes, which would make the British fleet lose the cover of the aircraft.

The quality of the pilots of the British carrier-based aircraft was very high, and in just three minutes from Cunningham's order, all the SeaSpitfires were lifted into the air.

They don't have a formation yet! The German BF109 fighters went from five or six kilometers to the fleet.

"Bang bang bang...... Bumper ...... Click......"

Before the German planes flew over the British Mediterranean Fleet, anti-aircraft weapons from British warships began to be fired.

At such a distance, how could it be hit, the British warship was frantically tilting the bullet rain at the German plane in the distance, as if a drunk man was saying to the police, don't come near me, I have a gun.

Something unexpected happened to the British army, under the wings of dozens of German BF109s, the flames flashed one after another, and dense black dots rushed towards the British fleet.

All the British soldiers looked at the black dots that sprayed out, and couldn't help but wonder, thinking:

"What the hell is this! The Germans do all sorts of scare-intimidating stuff. ”

Although the British had doubts in their hearts, they instinctively fired their guns at the black spots that rushed at them.

The spectacle of World War II appeared, the probability of firing rockets with guns was too low, and the British army's interception of rockets was doomed to be useless.

The black dots were getting closer and bigger, and Cunningham had been watching with a telescope, and he couldn't figure out what they were.

After the black dots flew closer, Corningham saw through the telescope that it was a bomb, and Corningham immediately shouted into the intercom in front of him:

"When enemy bombs are coming, the fleet Z type evades."

The quality of the British Navy was really good, and Cunningham's order had just been given, and all warships began to ask for a Z-route.

More than 200 rockets roared and fell into the British fleet, and these rockets were not precise attacks at all, but covering shots, and whether they hit or not depends on the probability.

About 30 percent of the more than 200 rockets hit the British warships, and the explosions resounded in the British fleet in an instant, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the entire fleet, and the columns of water that soared into the sky rose one after another.

A rocket was also hit at the command platform where Cunningham was located, but fortunately Cunningham was commanding from the battleship, and the rocket did not penetrate the conning tower, and the violent explosion only knocked Cunningham to the deck.

Kang Ninghan hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly into the microphone:

"Ships report losses."

"354 ship, the front main gun was blown up......"

"Cruiser 251, chimney blown up ......"

"Eagle, the flight deck was blown out of two holes, losing the ability to take off and land carrier-based aircraft."

"The flight deck of the aircraft carrier Guanghui was seriously damaged, and it lost the ability to take off and land carrier-based aircraft, and emergency repairs are being organized." ……

In this wave of rocket attacks, no warships were sunk in the British fleet, but many warships were damaged, and what worried Corningham the most was that the two aircraft carriers lost the ability to take off and land carrier-based aircraft.

The planes they sent out were finished, they had no place to land, and there was not enough fuel for them to fly to the Egyptian line for a forced landing.

The German BF109, which threw away the rocket, immediately rushed to the sky over the British warship and strangled with the British Sea Spitfire that had just taken off.

The anti-aircraft artillery of the British army below immediately thinned out, and they didn't dare to shoot indiscriminately! The planes scurrying in the sky will hit the planes on their side if they don't do it.

The Germans took the British by surprise with rockets in the first wave, wounding some of the British warships and greatly reducing the air defense capabilities of those damaged warships.

The German commander, Cristiano Ronaldo, did not give Cunningham any time to grieve, and a second wave of air raids followed.

"When the torpedo attack and dive bombardment begin, remember, be sure to attack at the same time, so that the enemy can't look at each other."

"Understood, the torpedo began to attack."

"JU87 Dive Bombing Begins."

"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"

The first to be attacked were two aircraft carriers, which were fire attractors on the battlefield.

Twelve "JU87s" broke away from the formation, and as soon as they were planted, they dived down against the British aircraft carrier Radiant that was constantly sailing.

The British, who were on the brilliant, immediately discovered the intentions of the German planes and hurriedly adjusted their muzzles thinking of these dive "JU87" shots.

It's a pity that any cannon has a shot elevation, seventy-five degrees is the limit, it is impossible to raise it to a vertical state, so the British on these Brilliant can only watch the German "JU87" whizz and dive down.

Other British warships were able to shoot these "JU87s", and the probability of a concentrated dive JU87 was too low.

The high-speed dive "JU87" can be said to loosely break through the British anti-aircraft fire network, and the vertical dive is really incomprehensible!

Thirty seconds later, the second group of "JU87s" began to break away from formation again and dived towards the aircraft carrier HMS British Eagle below.

"Boom...... 簌簌......"

The speed of the JU87 dive, coupled with the acceleration of gravity, makes the speed of the 1,000-kilogram heavy bomb more rapid, and the high speed makes the trajectory of the heavy aerial bomb more stable, basically unaffected by the sea breeze.

The first wave of twelve "JU87s" was aimed at the glorious aircraft carriers in the British Mediterranean Fleet, in fact, the British aircraft carriers were no longer of much use at this time, but Ronaldo still inherited Rommel's tradition of playing the "chicken nest" first.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Heavy aerial bombs hit the British aircraft carrier Radiance, and the upper deck of the aircraft carrier Radiance was completely overturned.

The violent and powerful explosion made the huge body of the aircraft carrier Guanghui sink and float, like duckweed on the water.

Then the aircraft carrier Tejas was enveloped in flames, and the flames continued to detonate the bombs on the aircraft carrier.

The British aircraft carrier Radiance was completely finished, and there was no possibility of rescue at all, and the commander of the British aircraft carrier Radiance was not killed and hurriedly gave the order to abandon the ship.

The Eagle aircraft carrier was like the Brilliance, and the heavy aerial bombs hit its flight deck, and the fire completely enveloped the Eagle aircraft carrier, and the British troops on the ship jumped into the sea like dumplings.

The torpedo attack of the BF109 was directed at the two British aircraft carriers, and the two aircraft carriers, which had lost power, silently endured one torpedo bombardment after another like two dead fish.

The USS Radiance was killed by a direct explosion of ammunition and was quickly sunk into the sea by being blown into two sections, while the USS Eagle capsized directly and fell into the sea, sinking overnight.

The first round of attacks achieved such a big result, which everyone expected, and the commander of the British Mediterranean Fleet, Corningham, was even more distressed and almost cried.

But before Cunningham could cry, the second wave of German dive bombardment began, and now it was the turn of the British battleships.

[Junding has been falling, the fallen leaves don't know what to say, those brothers who watch piracy, you are definitely not so poor that you don't have a dollar a month, spend a dollar a month to subscribe to ten chapters, even if you are not a VIP member, it's only one dollar! ]
